Objectives

The Equal Justice Foundation is chartered for:

Toward these goals the foundation undertakes charitable acts; develops, provides and disseminates educational materials; and initiates and publishes scientific studies.

We are often asked what the Equal Justice Foundation does for its members? The proper question, however, is what do members do for others? That question is answered below.


 

Mission

Top

The Equal Justice Foundation is a nonprofit organization of citizens from all walks of life working to:

The EJF provides direct help and assistance to men and women abused by their intimate partners or the legal system and conducts research into the causes and prevention of such abuse. Our viewpoints and findings are presented by an eclectic array of male and female authors from a wide variety of fields, backgrounds, and viewpoints including many comments from EJF members.


 

What does the Equal Justice Foundation support

Civil rights and civil liberties

Top

We deplore the actions of governments, courts, and bureaucracies run amok, and work to restore such keystones of liberty as due process and equal protection under the law for all citizens.

The Equal Justice Foundation does not support individual candidates or political parties but may, from time to time, endorse the position of an individual inside or outside government. The Foundation may also occasionally support or oppose particular legislation or issues that we regard as fundamental to civil liberties. Along these lines the Equal Justice Foundation has been particularly active with regard to voting rights and the conduct of elections.

Help for members and information for individuals

Top

The Equal Justice Foundation provides information on how men and women may deal with domestic violence or abuse, and where they may turn for help. Member services include sorting out their problems, showing them how to protect themselves, advice about available legal and mental health services, etc. We have now helped thousands of men and women individually in most states, and several other countries. However, due to overwhelming demand and our extremely limited resources, effective September 30, 2005, the Foundation only provides direct assistance and help to contributors and members whose dues are current.

Our web sites, ejfi.org and dvmen.org, now receive 1.5 million visits a year. Often the personal stories of those who have sought help from us are used, with their permission, to illustrate the problems and provide guidance to those with similar issues.

The Foundation works as a cooperative with its members. In many cases a member coming to us for help will be referred to another member who lives near them who has experience with the issues the individual is dealing with on a local level and provide the needed advice and assistance.

The EJF supports efforts to reduce false allegations of domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual abuse, particularly where these charges are used as weapons to gain advantage in a divorce and custody disputes.

Families and marriage

Top

The Equal Justice Foundation advocates for the preservation of families and strengthening the institution of marriage as a contract between a man and a woman when raising their children.

It is our fundamental tenet that children need both parents in order to develop into healthy, educated, and productive citizens, and we work toward keeping children with their biological parents whenever possible.

Child neglect and abuse

Top

Links between fatherless homes and the pathologies of society are supported by every study on the subject. The Equal Justice Foundation seeks to find ways to keep fathers in the homes of their children, strengthen families, and thereby reduce the prevalence of problems of children in single-parent homes.

Election issues

Top

The Equal Justice Foundation is actively involved in ensuring fair, open, and honest elections using a secret ballot.

We are adamantly opposed to mail in elections as there is overwhelming evidence that an individual's ballot does not remain secret and there is no reasonable means of ensuring who is casting the ballot that arrives in the mail. Numerous other problems are associated with maintaining an accurate list of registered voters and ensuring the correct ballot is sent only to the current and valid address of the voter in a mail in election.

The Year 2000 presidential election brought intense scrutiny to bear on problems with election machines. As a result there has been a rush to switch to computer voting machines but a grave lack of understanding of the problems associated with computer tabulations and security. The Equal Justice Foundation has been at the forefront of the effort to expose the problems with electronic voting machines.

Education

Top

By means of articles, reports, forums, lectures, meetings, and advertising the Equal Justice Foundation seeks to educate citizens, legislators, and law enforcement officials as to better means of dealing with domestic issues that do not recklessly destroy families.

Scientific research

Top

The Equal Justice Foundation conducts research and publishes in areas ranging from:

as well as the forces that are destroying our society, including:

The results of our studies are widely distributed by use of the World Wide Web, newspaper and magazine articles, scientific meetings and journals, and to legislative bodies and individual legislators.

In addition to the six areas of research found on this web site, another major publication supported by the EJF is the Domestic Violence Against Men in Colorado Web site. Many additional publications regarding domestic violence are also found on this site.

History

The Equal Justice Foundation was incorporated on February 12, 2001, under the laws of the State of Colorado.
